* getcwd-abort-bug.m4 (gl_FUNC_GETCWD_ABORT_BUG): New file and macro.
* getcwd.m4 (gl_FUNC_GETCWD): If we detect support for getcwd_null,
also check for glibc-2.4's abort-inducing bug.
configure fail, and request a bug report to inform us about it.
Add a comment that, barring reports to the contrary, in 2007 we'll
assume ftruncate is universally available.
cp/same-file test fail.
* tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
* tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.

* strndup.m4 (gl_FUNC_STRNDUP): Replace the AC_REPLACE_FUNCS with a
check for the declaration of strnlen and a run test that exposes the

"make distcheck".
(maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
changelog-check.

ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would

* src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
(cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
Write any pending output before returning.

* NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
* tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
* tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
